steverhodes Posted January 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2018 First I would to thank the people on this forum who helped us choose the right clothing for our cruise. Although temps got into the low thirties a lot and we got rain and — yea! — some snow, we were never cold because you helped us be prepared. Now onto a few brief reflections. This trip from the time we got to Cologne on Dec 8 until we left on Dec 14 in Nuremberg far exceeded our expectations. It was bracketed by two great markets, but Cologne was the one we liked best. We saw snow covered castles as we cruised. And generally we had a fabulous time. Two other couples joined us, and we all agreed it was one of our best trips ever. Hopefully you can see by the pictures I took that the trip had one magical moment after another. I will never forget this amazing cruise.

Rare notamermaid Posted January 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thank you steverhodes for the lovely pictures. Good to hear you had a magical time. Beginning of December often sees a few days of snow on the Rhine. This time it was actually cold enough to stay long enough for photographers to take some great pictures. And you caught those days, really lucky. :) Which town is the photo with timbered houses, cobblestones and lights? notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutieCutie Posted August 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi Steve - This is Sheila, one of our group of eight who so enjoyed cruising with you and your fellow Texans on the Viking Egil this July! The Christmas Market cruise looks fabulous. I was just wondering if you could tell me which Viking cruise this is as I can't seem to find it specifically on their website. Thanks!

Sheila I answered this question as soon as you posted but looks like I forgot to push the submit button so I’ll answer it again. The cruise last year was called Christmas in Germany. They run this itinerary only sporadically. It went from Cologne to Nuremberg. But it isn’t on the schedule for 2018, 19 or 20 We are going on the Danube Waltz this Dec 5 from Passau to Budapest with a pre extension in Prague.
